Why does current in steady state not flow in a capacitor connected across a battery? However, momentary current does flow during charging or discharging of the capacitor. Explain.
a) In steady state, charges accumulate on the plates and oppose further flow of current. During charging or discharging, the flow is allowed due to the buildup of charges.
b) In steady state, charges neutralize each other's effects. During charging or discharging, charges accumulate, allowing current flow.
c) In steady state, the capacitor becomes a perfect conductor. During charging or discharging, it behaves as a resistor.
d) In steady state, the battery's potential cancels out the capacitor's potential. During charging or discharging, the potential difference allows current flow.
